In what way does your game fit the theme?
It takes the rewind theme and applies it to the sequence that the game is played. You play starting at the final boss and move backwards through the levels, randomly losing power as you go.

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself, but there are a few 3rd party assets that I purchased. They are all linked in the game's description.

Good:

  • Music and sound effects are really nice
  • Uses the rewind theme well
  • Nice concept of having to get upgrades to stop yourself from becoming too weak

Could improve:

  • I sometimes got stuck on a corner while moving, maybe wall collisions could be improved
  • Displaying health of enemies
  • Displaying player health above the player
  • Make it more clear what stats are decreasing each round. I wasn't entirely sure what was changing between levels other that the number of bullets I was firing
  • The energy particles sometimes got stuck in the corners and I couldn't get them
  • Particle effects for shooting and landing shots would make the game look a lot more polished
  • Maybe checkpoints? Depends on how hard you want to make the game

Overall a fun game :D

It's very rare that you find a genuinely really fun top-down-shooter in a game jam, and you've made it harder on yourself by literally throwing progression out of the window, but honestly this game is amazing! I played all the levels and was only disappointed that there wasn't any more levels when I got to the end.

Felt most badass with the laser gun. Great work with this game!

This was a fun experience, I really engoyed the laser upgrade. I would add more levels and more story background for better clarity to the player. Overall a nice and short game with cool weapons and upgrades. Please continue this game.

also maybe rate my game O:

The movement is good. I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to shoot but I like the beam gun and effect. Feels good. Sound and music was good.
